What Valentine’s Day Means to Me

By Josh (This is the one blog post I hope my wife doesn’t read) : Let’s be honest, women and men see Valentine’s Day differently.  We all know it and that isn’t much of a surprise. What many don’t think about or realize is that baseball fans see Valentine’s Day very different from everyone else.…

My Team Offseason Awards

By Josh: When a lot of the ‘professional’ writers grade out how teams did over the offseason they look to determine just how much of an impact the moves made by each team will affect them during the next season.  That is a perfectly valid way to grade teams but for me I’m going to…

What Baseball Means to Me

By Josh, I know I have written in the past about what baseball means to me but I’ve come to realize that my thoughts and feelings on baseball change now from year to year.  Life changes and with the changes in life come new perspectives. Baseball is just a game. Yet to me it is…

By Josh: I truly enjoy the baseball season. Most of my favorite things can be found during the baseball season; favorite food: stadium hamburgers, favorite sound: a glove popping when catching a fastball, favorite type of day: warm summer day. I can even say with all honesty that once the baseball season ends I go…

Ethics in Baseball

By Josh: This season was and still is an interesting one when it comes to ethics in baseball. For months there were debates about the ‘unwritten rules’ of baseball. Should a player bunt to try and break up a no-hitter? When can you throw inside and when can’t you? The steroid/performance enhancing drugs issue has…

Is It Spring Yet

By Josh: I know it has been all of two days since the World Series ended but all that means to me is that I’ve gone two days without checking scores for games and watching highlights, and I wont be able to do this again for like four months. It’s sad and depressing I know.…

Playoff Predictions: Josh

AL WILD CARD This game is going to be hard for me to watch because my Mariners were so close to being in this game. With that being said I am picking the Royals to beat the A’s. The A’s have not looked good the last half of the season and say what you want…
